Change object name from menu

[Cobalt Firehawk]

Hey guys.. Ive made a HUD with various buttons that give chat based on the button pushed.. pretty run of the mill. However.. I want the HUD name on llsetobjectname to become the name of the avatar wearing it. So that instead of , for example

"HUD: Cobalt Firehawk asks for script help"

 

I get simply

 

"Cobalt Firehawk asks for script help"

 

Thanks!

llSetObjectName(llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + "  asks for script help");

thanks! that was fast! In addition... what would be the best way to go about making it so that they can customize the object name via chat.. its for an RP sim and some folks have different "character" names than there actual SL name.

Just put the llSetObjectName statement into the listen event in your script so that it puts your chat message into the object's name field.  See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Listen and http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlListen

Something simple, kept the naming the same so you have a ref to the wiki

integer listen_channel = 9;integer listen_handle;default{    on_rez(integer i)    {        llResetScript();    }        state_entry()    {        llSetObjectName(llKey2Name(llGetOwner()) + " asks for script help");    }    touch_start(integer total_number)    {                listen_handle = llListen(listen_channel, "", llGetOwner(), "");        llSay(0, "Type your desired name: /"+ (string)listen_channel +" <name>");        llSetTimerEvent(60);    }        listen(integer listen_channel, string name, key id, string message )    {        if (id = llGetOwner()) llSetObjectName(message + " asks for script help");        llListenRemove(listen_handle);    }        timer()    {        llSay(0, "60 seconds passed, try again.");        llListenRemove(listen_handle);    }}

Objects can use /me just like you use it in chat. You can use that to get rid of the colon.
